Connecting to an iSCSI RAID

This guide covers configuration of the iSCSI initiator within the Windows PC (Kollector/NVR) and an iSCSI RAID. It shows

initially how to connect the two units together but may be equally helpful when reconnecting or fault finding.

For best performance the iSCSI RAID should be connected via a dedicated network shown in Red below.

NOTE: IP Addresses shown are for guidance only. Please check the Network settings on each device before proceding as they may be different.

Go to Control Panel and

start the iSCSI Initiator

Click on Discovery, Discover Portal.

And then Advanced.

Change the Local Adapter to Microsoft iSCSI Initiator.

Enter the Initiator IP Address. This is the IP address of the

Kollector/NVR iSCSI SAN port.

Click OK

Next enter the IP Address of the Target port.

This is the CH0 port of the iSCSI RAID

Click on OK

Your settings should now appear like this.

Click on Targets and highlight the discovered RAID

Click on Connect.

Click on Advanced.

Use the Drop downs to select the Local adapter,

Initiator IP and Target portal IP as shown.

Click OK x 2

The RAID should now show as Connected.

If this is a new installation the RAID should appear in Windows Disc Management as a New Drive with a message “Initialise

Disc?” Once this has been completed the RAID will appear in Windows as one or more Drive letters depending on the

configuration of the RAID. This is covered in another technical guide – Windows Hard Drive Initialisation.

For an existing installation, say following a repair of the RAID, then the iSCSI initiator should automatically pick up and connect

if no settings have changed. However, if it is the NVR/Kollector that has been repaired then the above procedure will need to

be followed if the settings have been lost.

If the RAID will not connect:

 Check the SAN Network settings of the NVR/Kollector and the RAID match that of the iSCSI Initiator.

 Check the Ethernet patch cables are OK and plugged in to the correct ports.

 Check the RAID management software to ensure that the RAID is configured and functioning correctly.

 If all else fails, please call Vicon Technical Support.
